Roman City. For the long weekend...

For the weekend, read pages 265-271.

Watch the video Roman City, linked up here. Enjoy the cartoon, and don't be frightened by the scary druids...The host's sweet 90s mustache will keep you safe...

Respond to the prompts about the video linked up here on your blog.

Next week, we will have an in-class essay on Friday, compare and contrast, the topic will be politics.  On Monday we will have a test on the Classical Era, chapters 7 (Persia) - 11 (Rome) inclusive. It will consist of 70 multiple choice questions. I'd suggest going back over the weekend and updating the charts/webs you started to organize the information if you haven't been doing so...

Be sure to pay tribute to genocidal, avaricious European "explorers" on Monday...

Homework for 10/10 Roman Republic to Roman Empire

Today in class we looked at some documents that are connected to why Rome changed from being a republic to becoming an empire.  Below are the Storified tweets that you all wrote about each document.  Look over each collection to see what your peers had to say about the documents (which are linked up after each Storify).

Storify 1 #reptoemp1: The Twelve Tables

Storify 2 #reptoemp2: Republican Government Structure

Storify 3 #reptoemp3: Murder of Tiberius Gracchus

Storify 4 #reptoemp4: Life in the Late Republic

Storify 5 #reptoemp5: Maps

Then, on your own blog, write one thing that you can say that you know (that is, you are 100% certain) about why Rome made this transition. This can be one sentence if you wish. After that, write what you want to know, or feel you need to know in order to explain why this change happened; what parts of the story did you miss?
